More hookers, more Jesus, more trouble keeping a straight face

Despite being chastised for my recent suggestion that the Vegas-based HOOKERS FOR JESUS might be "stumping" for former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee (yeah, yeah, I know . . . it was a stupid joke . . . I know about non-profits and the rules of 501(c)3 status . . . yes, I've worked in non-profits my entire adult life . . . mea culpa, mea culpa, etc.), my hometown rag, the LA TIMES is back with an update about their latest task.

This battle is, of course, metaphorical. I do not mean to suggest that representatives of Hookers for Jesus will actually be fighting the folks from Evil Angel (a noted pornography distributor) with, say, swords and crossbows.

Of course, if they do indeed plan to . . . y'know . . . brawl, I welcome the chance to retract my statement and . . . y'know, pay to see it.

A little bit of intelligent design, Vegas-style

Regular readers know that I'm not much for posting articles from other sites here at Our Man in L.A. I figure that web browsing's a very personal thing, and who am I to impose? But this - this is just too good. It's an article from my hometown newspaper, the Los Angeles Times.
